Friends,
Wow! I have tears just reading all the responses and prayers that have been sent up on my behalf. I truly feel like I have all these new friends from this site.
What a wild ride. I got home last week after a week in the hospital. I'm a little uncoordinated. I walk with a walker, yes, I look like my grandmother! They say it was more severe than they orginally thought and it will take up to a year to recup. I think definately shorter!
My husband has been taking the best of care of me and I don't know how I would've done it without him!! I am truly so blessed.
At first I couldn't stand up on my own, now, I can walk without my walker but, very slowly and unsure, so they prefer me use it.
Here's what happened: Went for my 10 day checkup, they tested my blood and found it was at .7 and so they gave me a shot of heprin and 4 baby asprin and sent me on my way. My husband and I were driving through Fort Worth to go stay with our best friends at Possum Kingdom Lake and I became very confused. I didn't remember going to the Doctor and or where we were going. My husband asked me who would we be staying with at the Lake and I had no idea. He took me directily to the nearest hospital, Harris in Fort Worth. They immediately got me back with a room full of people and tended to me. (I don't remember anything, my husband told me all this) I was in ICU a couple of days and then a regular room the rest of the week. They had me on a heperin IV the whole week in one arm and potasium and other junk in the other. I had fantastic nurses and luckily I have several close friends in FT Worth to help my hubby. It was all pretty scary for him, bless his heart. They ran all kinds of test all week and finally let me go home. It's weird how it's all kind of a big blur.
There were some funny things, when I was having my stroke I kept thinking my Doctor was my sacker at Albertson's. He assured me every time he came in that he didn't use to work at Albertson's. I started the same story every time he came in just like I hadn't seen him before.
Strokes are really weird!! Everyone got a big laugh about a lot of things I was saying so it kind of released a little stress. Anyway, this is the most I've been on the computer since and I've been on too long! My vision has bouts of being more blurred than others and I'm still experiencing seizures..kinda space out.
One more thing....my Surgeon wanted me to have a follow up echo to check for leaks. I went in today for that. She was taking so long I finally asked if anything was wrong, she said that I had a couple of leaks around the valve. Okay, I'm bummed..what does this mean ya'll? Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
